Before & beyond the charter
One team for the whole Komodo trip
Your charter is the centrepiece — but the rest can be handled too. Land smoothly with a VIP airport arrival, step from the terminal straight onto your boat, or stretch a day charter into a multi-night liveaboard. It is all coordinated by Komodo Luxury, so there is no juggling vendors between the airport and the anchor.
Good to know
Komodo boat charter — FAQ
What is a Labuan Bajo boat charter?
A Labuan Bajo boat charter is a private boat — a speedboat, a wooden phinisi or a luxury yacht — hired with its own crew for your group alone to explore Komodo National Park. You set the route and the pace: a single day hitting the headline sights, or an overnight charter sleeping aboard. Arranged by Komodo Luxury.
Speedboat, phinisi or yacht — which boat should I charter?
A speedboat is fastest and best for a packed day trip; a phinisi is a slower, characterful wooden sailing boat with a big sun deck for a relaxed day or an overnight; a luxury yacht adds cabins, a chef and a fully crewed itinerary. We help you match the boat to your group and dates.
Can I charter the whole boat just for my group?
Yes — that is the point of a private charter. The whole deck is yours: no strangers, no fixed schedule. You decide whether to chase mantas at Manta Point, climb Padar at sunrise or laze at Pink Beach. If you would rather share to save money, we also run an open day trip.
How much does a Komodo boat charter cost?
Indicative starting guides: a sharing day seat from around USD 130, a private speedboat day charter from around USD 350, a phinisi day charter from around USD 600, and a private overnight charter from around USD 900; luxury yachts are quoted on request. See the charter price guide. We confirm a fixed quote on WhatsApp once we know your boat, dates and group.
What is included, and what about the park fee?
A private charter typically includes the boat, crew, fuel, snorkel gear, drinking water and lunch on day trips; cabins and meals on overnight boats. The Komodo National Park entry and conservation fee is paid separately (it varies by activity and day). We list exactly what each boat includes before you commit.
